This Christmas, the Robert Jordan estate is offering a special holiday treat for fans of the author’s epic Wheel of Time fantasy series: The English-to-Old-Tongue Dictionary!

The Old Tongue is a fantasy language within Jordan’s Wheel of Time that is typically used in the story to signify important aspects of the universe, the knowledge of which proves key in the series’ ongoing battle against the Shadow. While it is reminiscent of Tolkien’s ground-up creation of Elvish languages for The Lord of the Rings, The Old Tongue differs in that Jordan took a top-down approach, creating a dictionary of terms from which some basic suffixes, roots, and usage rules emerged.

The English-to-Old-Tongue Dictionary is the counterpart to the Old-Tongue-to-English Dictionary found within The Wheel of Time Companion. It is being provided via Tor.com as a thank you to Wheel of Time fans from Harriet McDougal, Alan Romanczuk, Maria Simons, and the rest of Team Jordan.

Enjoy!

About the Author

About Author Mobile

Robert Jordan

Author

Robert Jordan was the pen name under which James Oliver Rigney, Jr., wrote his landmark series The Wheel of Time. Jordan turned to writing after serving two tours in Vietnam as a helicopter gunner and working for a time as a nuclear engineer; in the early 1980's, he worked on Conan the Destroyer for Tor Books, and in 1984, he pitched Tom Doherty his idea for an original fantasy series. Beginning with 1990's The Eye of the World, the series grew immensely popular and influential and is often held up next to the Lord of the Rings as the quintessential epic fantasy.

Jordan would write eleven of a planned twelve volumes before his untimely death in 2007. His wife and editor, Harriet MacDougal, selected Mistborn author Brandon Sanderson to finish the series, using both finished prose and extensive notes left by Jordan.
